I'm in the midst of prep work on the block for some color @ home so I can get the bbc back into my DD/tow pig. I use a similar prep approach (simple green & acetone) but use typical 'home' materials to wipe away dirt & oil residue. This typically means recycled shop rags or those 'blue' shop paper-towels.

My issue is the 'lint-free' p-towels leave behind way more material than desired if any cleaning chems are used & the shop towels (clean as they look) still typically have an oily residue not good for helping paint products adhere.

What would you guys recommend for the driveway builds?
